Aborigines called to take charge
As Minister for Aboriginal Affairs I will bring in a law that all
people in Australia should follow the original people of this land.
Viz., we werer only working for 4 hours each day, finding enough food
and clothing to sustain us.
We were so sucessful that when the
British life expectancy was only 50 for a male Brit we had a life
expectancy of 72 for both male and females. Most British females died
before they were 25 in child birth.
All non-indigenous animals will be slau ...slaugh..slauthe..um killed
and we will only eat the indigenous animals and grubs.
You will be expected to go on long walkabout trips to other parts of
Australia at least once every 10 years (of your choice) and stay as
long as you like.
While you are there you must speak the language of
that area.
Every non-Aborigianal person, is to in the month of their birth, if your Birthday falls in March for the whole month you are to be painted black. Then you must try to get served in large department stores, get a loan from a Bank, get a job, go to a Real Estate and rent a property, and walk the streets late at night to see if the police leave you alone.

Reconciliation
Sometimes the readiness to be sorry can appear in a flash of insight; other times it may cost a sleepless night or a long sulk. Either way, you've got to go through the process.
